EXPOSED SILVER

Silvery white sapwood exposed against the clash of the dark rich colour of the bark.
I allow the smooth texture of the sapwood to be touched, against the hardness of the bark, thus tingling the sense of nature.
You've heard of the metaphor for optimism, " every cloud has a silver lining", well this is the only sculpture with a silver lining, a true positive sculpture, with a history at it's side and a future to look forward too.

SILVER LINING

My though process for this sculpture , was not only to show the external composition but to show all of the tree composition and the beauty it bestows inside and out
EXCLUSIVE SILVER
Normally nature doesn't present us with what the tree is all about, we only see it's form, either in the woods or in manufacturing terms, never in a natural form,. I wanted to show the amazingly beautiful form it takes, locking each fibre, to create an amazing structure.

NATURAL BEAUTY

An oak base delicately hand carved to celebrate the international iconic chesterfield pattern. The base was once part of the friary pews in Dundee, Scotland but the city church bought the friary and started is renovations
CARVED EXCELLENCE
Silver Light

A light falling on the silvery bark caress the eyes , feeds the passion that was given in this beautiful splendid creation. The Back wraps around to the front torso of warm melting fibres. Glimmers of Silver light on top, Craftsmanship, design and purification pays tribute to the British Icon Chesterfield.
Melting Moments
Designed, carved and perfected in a way that the sculpture interior falls like a waterfall of exquisite taste. Enjoy the moment , is it seduces your eyes, caress your fingertips as they run slowly over the smooth fine edges of delight.
